Planting a tree near a house

Question

I planted two months ago a peach tree 4 feet from the house to block the view from a window. I am planning to keep it small (6 feet max.). Do the roots cause damage to foundation from the house? Should I move the tree to another place farther from the house?

Answer 1

Generally, it is best to keep any tree near the house planted at least 10 feet away to prevent any possible damage.
